Can You Guess What This Is?

It looks like art to me!

HINTS: 

1.  It waters your plants for you when you are away.
2)  It has no batteries or other parts to replace.
3)  It is easy to clean.
4)  It is made from hand blown glass.
5)  It is available in several different pretty colors.

I wrote a review for this product here:

This is Borracho

You will be seeing more of him, and the cartoon family I have invented.  They consist of several young college students and various of their family members, a dog named Perro, a constable named Sgt. Rio, who happens to be a mouse, and of course, the star of my production, Borracho himself:

Next I shall have to draw her a habitat!

Perhaps an elfin kitty is in order, too.

Although I prefer to paint in oil, I do try a watercolor now and then, just to keep in practice.

I Sent Myself a Post Card

Whenever I finish a new drawing or painting that I have sold, or even just especially like, I usually take a picture of it and send it to myself.  I used to watermark it, print the picture out on linen card stock, hand write the copyright information on the card, seal it and then mail it to myself where I archived it unopened. 

Recently, however, I have found that I can upload the watermarked photo to the United States Postal Service's web site and have a premium postcard sent to me with the same information:

The Premium Post Card service is affordable, pay as you go, and allows you to store your own photos, addresses, and other information on their web site.   I will be using them from now own.

TypePad is User-Friendly

Free blogging software is better than nothing, but having used both, the obvious difference is that with TypePad I can strike while the thought is fresh, and with all the others,  I just sort of tapered off.   Apparently this is just another one of those situations where you get what you pay for.

Please click on the link to the right that reads "Powered by TypePad" if you are thinking of signing up for this great service.
